Liver in Caul Fat
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Bosnian/Herzegovinian dishes.
What it is
A traditional Balkan delicacy featuring lamb or calf liver, wrapped in delicate caul fat (omentum) and then grilled or baked. The caul fat melts during cooking, naturally basting the liver, keeping it moist, and imparting a rich, savory flavor. It's naturally keto-friendly and a high-fat, high-protein dish.
Key ingredients
Lamb/calf liver, caul fat, salt, black pepper, garlic (optional), fresh parsley (optional), olive oil.
Optional tweaks
None needed for the dish itself. Ensure no carb-heavy side dishes like potatoes or bread are served; request a simple green salad or grilled keto vegetables instead.
